So it would cost me €1250 to qualify.  But why would i do this as opposed to just buying x5 APs and getting 20% discount on that price? All the discounts are aid the same or am i missing something?

For you personally, if you just want discount on 5 APs, then 20% is better.

For other people who are buying less than 5 APs, or who want the perks - don't forget access to Salon Mickey, and they have 1250 Euros to tie up, then Shareholders Club is an option.

Yes,  APs for me it is.you couldn't bring my kids into salon mickey,  it would be like a war zone in no time ☺

[Slimy yet satisfying]

Haha! Yes, you might be right but on the otherhand I have seen adults throw a hissyfit when the lemon muffins run out in Salon Mickey!

With all the rumours of changes to the Shareholders club and Salon Mickey in particular, what do people think DLP get out of the club?

Personally I don't see why they let it continue. It must be quite a drain on resources and finances.

I think they were hoping that the recent restructuring would see people sell their shares, with the aim that TWDC could buy them all up. Without the Shareholders Club, what would be the point of being a minor shareholder?

I can see the Shareholders club in its current format closing. Maybe they would launch something similar, but with an annual fee (or joining fee)? Maybe this would be tied in with the rumoured new AP structure?

What are the rumoured changes?  The only rumours I'm aware of are the APs possibly being overhauled, including access (presumably in the afternoon) being given to Salon Mickey for some passes.  I would be very interested to know about possible changes to the Shareholders Club

This would indeed have been TWDC's hope, but a few too many people kept hold of their shares... they therefore kept the Shareholders Club open.  I was surprised (very pleasantly so, I might add!  )

Since they only recently re-structured the Shareholders Club membership criteria, and increased the membership term to 5-years, they're unlikely to have much of a plan to close it down within that timeframe?

I kinda agree with Sulley's Arms that the shareholders club isn't gonna change very soon.
It they where to change it in a bigger perspective, they would have done it at the last change.
Or at least that's what my gut feeling says.
That the membership now is for 5 years, might already give them less work.

Can I ask where you have seen this?

When the restructuring was happening, I had a feeling that TWDC was gonna take fully over DLP. But I stand corrected on that.

Looks like TWDC are going to get their own way after all (fully accept that there are pros and cons to this).

The timescale of a takeover is quite short too - possibly completed by the middle of the year?

No one probably knows the answer to this, but how will it affect the Shareholders club - we've just received our new, valid for 5 years membership cards.

I couldn't work out whether shareholders would be given cash in exchange for their shares or shares in TWDC, can anyone enlighten me? Does share ownership in TWDC offer any perks - discounts or dividends?

Regarding the club, hard to say yet. My guess is that as long as you have a card now, that's valid until it's expires.
But that's just a guess. Only time would tell.

Regarding shares in TWDC, I have shares there, but they don't come with any perks. Only dividends.
And from what I understand, you get shares in TWDC, not cash.

Can you remember what sort of return you get per share?

[Lolly_Belle]

I have 10 TWDC shares (have had them for about 15 years) and get a return of about £4.50 every six months or so.

For the last divided a month ago I got 0.78 USD per share.
And for the dividend in July last year it was 0.71 per share.

My understanding is that the TWDC shares were offered specifically for Prince Alwaleed's holding.

All the reports I've read say that 2 Euros cash will be offered for the other outstanding shares (e.g. small shareholders like us)

As I only hold 100 shares at the moment cash would be fine as the €200 value wouldn't even buy two TWDC shares, they are currently over $100 each.

Sad at the thought of shareholders club going, but overall am happy at the prospects for DLP's future.

I stand corrected.
I just went back to read whatsupanders's post at https://forum.dlpguide.com/index.php?topic=21959.0 and I misread the post when I first read it.

It work at my end. Do you access it via a tablet or smartphone? From earlier experience it looks like you need to go through a pc.
